Orthostatic hypotension presents in all phases of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and occurs in about 80% of patients. There is some debate in the literature as to the relationship of orthostasis to the standard drug treatments. A distinct tendency towards hypotension has been found, especially for treatment with levodopa (LD). We therefore wanted to investigate the influence of LD on blood pressure response in PD patients.
